The head of the Jarrow Crusade seen here during the first stage of their journey to
The head of the Jarrow Crusade seen here during the first stage of their journey to London. The Jarrow March was a protest march in England in October 1936 against the unemployment and poverty suffered in the northeast Tyneside town of Jarrow following the closure of Palmers Shipyard the towns main employer and the failure of the proposed steelworks to materialise.
Around 200 men marched from Jarrow to London over 26 days, carrying a petition to the British government requesting the re-establishment of industry in the town. The petition was received by the House of Commons but not debated, and the march produced few immediate results. The Jarrovians went home believing that they had failed. 5th October 1936
